Overview
About this bike
Scott's Scale 740 is fun, quick, and stable, making it an obvious choice for any XC adventure. A custom-butted 6061-aluminum frame with a tapered head tube and 100mm-travel Fox Float Performance fork keeps you comfortable, on point, and in control. Scott's handlebar-mounted Rideloc remote control system allows instant suspension changes with three settings. 27.5-inch Syncros wheels are nimble yet stable, while Schwalbe tires stick to the trail like Velcro. Shimano's 2x10-speed XT drivetrain lets you tackle any climb, and Shimano SLX hydraulic disc brakes have plenty of power, so you can scrub speed with confidence. Plus, the Syncros saddle, seatpost, stem, and bars offer comfort and control for miles of singletrack fun.
